A Relic Of My Dear Hubbcll" and
''lagO' ID. Is. II.

Levi Bacon, financial clerk of the
patent Office died recently a defaulter
TO the government for $4,000. AT
first it was supposed that he had
made advances on the salaries OF
clerks i'll the department of which he
was clerk, but recent facts have come
to light that dispel that theory Of the
defalcation. Memoranda left by Mr..
Bacon shows that the missing cash
went for campaign assessments III
the Garfield campaign, the collections
for which We're made by congressman,
Hubbell of Michigan and Henderson
Of Iowa. This defalcation represents
the assessment levied upon the clerks
in the patent office, and as the de-
mand for money to meet the exigen-
cies Of the campaign was urgent, the
financial clerk advanced the money
charging it up to the clerks leaving u
list Of the names for whom it was
advanced. Bacon's salary was 81. OO0
year, his bond was for $1,000. one
Of the surety thereon being JAY
Hubbell. This defalcation ought tt
pretty fully explain the inquiry il
the letter to My Dear Hubbell
given TO the public by the ''Stal
rout thief Brady in which Mr. Gar
field asked:
How are the departments doing
generally" as pretty well l THANK

The Sort of Competition One Has to Fight
in Northern Massac usetts.
Not long ago young Boston grocer
went out into Northern Massachusetts
city to establish a grocery on large
and liberal scale. He rented big
store, filled it up with electric lights.
put an immense and glitteriny coffee
mill in the front window, filled up his
store with new goods. stacked up in
Observation-Disclosures pyramids and
the like. and invited patronage with
double-column advertisements in the
daily papers The trade started in
briskly enough, but he soon discovered
that his patrons were somewhat intar-
estcd in the prices that he sold his
goods at as well rs in the imposing
surroundings of his business. There
was Il rival establishment very much
like his own, with electric lights. big
coffee mills. glittering pyramids Of
baking-p powder boxes, etc, further
down the street, and purchasers were
continually comparing his prices with
the rates in this rival store.
O,,c day a male customer, with an
open, coniiding tace, came in and re-
marked:
What do you sell the best Haxall
flour fora'
Five dollars and halt barrel"
but the other store down the street
sells it for S..
..Best Haxall, is it?''
''Oh, yes
We'll" said the new grocer. 'they
don't sell this Lind Of flour for five dol.
lars. Did you notice how many KS
there were on the barrels down at the
other storc?'
There were three. sir"
well. I'll sell you this flour for five
dollars, and it has four Ks on the bar
rel! Do you see! They can't begin to
do that for you.'
The open-faced man went out and
travelled right over to the other store.
That man in the new store" said
he, ..oii'ers to sell me the best HaNall
flour. with four KS on the barrel, for
five dollars. and your flour hasn't got
but three KS
The grocer scratched his head.
ibid YOU notice the size of the KS
on his barrelso?' he finally asked.
YES" said the customer. They
were about three inches long"
"Ah, that makes the difference, don't
YOU see. The Ks on my barrels are

Some sound sense from a leading
Republican daily:
The war is over. The victorious
union armies have long since furled
their banners, stacked their arms.
and returned to the peaceful pursuits
of private life which their valor made
possible. Nay. more: their ranks
have melted away ut the touch Of
death until but a remnant remains to
enjoy the love and honor Of the coun-
try. Those Of the opposition have
accepted the decisive arbitralnent Of
arms, and are in their places in the
states and in the national govern
ment. 1t is now the part Of wisdom
and patriotism to follow the things
which make for peace" The whole
country is to be unified and suliditied."

High Prices for Hay.

We advise our friends to 20 little
slow who are making contracts for
hay ut high prices. such rs eight or
ten dollars per ton. to feed cattle. \
COW will very soon eat her head off at
that figure. If nothing else were at
hand it would have TO be done but
it will not be very hard for farmers
to do as they did twenty years ago
do without hay.
Think moment The recent rains
if they have been as general ~ We
think they have. have settled the
corn crop. If 80. corn will not cost
over . cents per bushel. We doubt
ii it opens at more than 20 cents.
Even 1T % cents il il only nine dol
lars per ton. 1t takes 25its. Of hay.
or ten cents worth, to keepa COW in
good shape one day. whilst ten cents
worth of corn per day at 20 cents per
bushel will fatten her.
1t is plain 10 be seen that the far
corn fodder and oats straw and sell
three tons Of hay and buy II ton of
oil meal with the money. rather than
feed hay at eight dollars per ton.
Hay will be in demand tor the city
trade. BECAUSE horses must have
roughness and it is the only kind OF
roughness that will bear transporta-
ton. but the farmers will ease up on
hay and use straw and fodder and
prairie hay till half a crop will 60

We speak Of this how because there
is a panieky feeling amon, farmers
about cattle feed. and |; disposition

almost any price. In two weeks at

SO well defined that the surplus

With corn SO much cheaper than

fed. * yeariing steer can be fatten-
ed OH corn, even at present prices,

will feed their yeariings and even

very low another Year. but it will
